01:30Well, wait a minute. Wait a minute. I'll tell you what. How would you like to hear a brand-new,
01:37never-before-told story of Christmas?
01:39A story that no one ever heard?
01:43That's right. Now, that actually happened to me when I was a forest ranger in Yellowstone National Park. That was
01:51many years back.
01:52Say, you climb up here to my lap, and I'll tell you all about it.
01:58Here, Joe.
01:58Oh, boy, a new Christmas story.
02:01That's right, a brand-new Christmas story.
02:28The white and frozen spring-sized birds won't return till the grass can't breathe.
02:41In the hills, there's a chill and a shiver. Everyone's gone, learn of him to come.
03:03From the ice and snow we can hide, while it's sunny and cold outside, when winter comes for everyone.
03:36I suppose old Nana the bear and her cubs are about set it down for the winter.
03:41Yoo-hoo! Anyone home?
03:44Hiya, Mr. Ranger.
03:46Hey, Mom, Mr. Ranger's here.
03:49Whoop!
03:50Hey, look out!
03:54Whoop!
03:56Sorry, Mr. Ranger.
03:57Oh, that's all right, kid.
04:00Oh, that's all right, kid.
04:00I'm used to an unusual welcome around here.
04:03About ready to call it a season, Nana?
04:07Oh, that's for sure.
04:09I was just about to have to come in for the winter.
04:13Oh, we don't want to go to bed.
04:16Huh.
04:17Typical kid.
04:18Yep.
04:19We're not worth a darn without a good four-month sleep.
04:24Oh, hope my lumbago doesn't act up this winter.
04:29I guess Middle Age is creeping up on you.
04:32So long.
04:33Have a pleasant winter.
04:35Goodbye, Mr. Ranger.
04:37Ocean up.
04:38Nakomi, come on in.
04:40It's hibernation time.
04:42Coming, Mom.
04:43So long, Mr. Ranger.
04:46Oh, Nakomi.
04:49It's coming, Mom.
04:51Looks like it's got a snow.
04:55Oh, Nakomi.
04:56Oh, Nakomi.
05:06Oh, Nakomi.
05:10Oh, Nakomi.
05:22Ah, the first snowfall of the winter.
05:26It's almost that time of the year again.
05:32Sleigh bells and snowmen.
05:34Yep.
05:36Soon it'll be Christmas Day.
05:40Two, which reminds me about time I went out and cut me down a fine Christmas tree.
05:47There's something wonderful about this time of the year.
05:51Makes a man feel good about living.
05:56Now that I can't eat the new year and a midnight Christmas tree.
05:59So long, wouldn't it?
06:02OK.
06:03Bye-bye.
06:04All the way.
06:07Hmm.
06:11Who wants to sleep when it's snowy all over everything?
06:17Nekomi!
06:18Senua!
06:19Are you kids coming to bed?
06:21In a minute, Mom.
06:23Look, Senua.
06:24It's Mr. Ranger.
06:30I wonder what he's doing out in the snow.
06:33Let's go find out.
06:36What?
06:37I...
06:45Hey.
06:45Hey, this one's perfect.
06:47About the right size and height, too.
06:57What's it?
06:59Oh, my!
07:16We're awfully sorry, Mr. Ranger, sir.
07:20What happened?
07:22Uh, well, we kind of got all snowballed up.
07:27Nekomi and Chinook, I might have known.
07:30You cubs get into everything, even snowballs.
07:34Hey, you kids had better get home and start hibernating.
07:37You know how your mom is.
07:39She can be a real bear when she's angry.
07:42Look, I made her funny.
07:50Now, stand back, kids.
07:52What you gonna do with that ass?
07:55What?
07:56I'm gonna cut down this Christmas tree.
07:58What's a Christmas tree?
08:02And what's a Christmas?
08:05Oh, Christmas is, well, uh...
08:08Christmas is a time for good cheer.
08:11Singing carols and exchanging gifts.
08:15Everyone is wubbling and happy.
08:17People are at their best around Christmas time.
08:22Sounds like fun.
08:24How come we never had a Christmas?
08:27Oh, well, I suppose it's because you're a bear.
08:31And bears hibernate through Christmas.
08:37Jimbo!
08:51What'll happen to that Christmas tree, Mr. Ranger?
08:55Oh, lots of wonderful things.
08:56Marshmallow rose, dancing around a warm fireplace, to play games.
09:01Well, it's been nice, but you better be getting home before your mom misses you.
09:07You know, Nekomi, will you please come home?
09:11We must get some sleep.
09:13Cunning, Mom!
09:33Let's ask her about it.
09:42Hey, Mom, wake up.
09:44We want to talk to you.
09:46Oh, my God.
09:47I won't.
09:48Tell us about Christmas, please.
09:51Uh-huh.
09:52Huh?
09:54What's a Christmas?
09:56You know, presents and candy and lots of goodies.
10:00Oh, well, I really don't think I know much about it.
10:11Oh, come on, Mom.
10:13Mr. Ranger told us this was the best time of the year.
10:16Why, of course it is, children.
10:19That's when we get our sleeves.
10:22Quick!
10:23Grab her!
10:24It's no use.
10:25She's out like a mime.
10:28Maybe Mr. Ranger has a Christmas and gift house that we can see.
10:32Come on!
10:37Come on!
10:44Winter time, I'm together, together.
10:53Boys and girls, walking warm by the sun.
11:01I'm so cold, wishing winter's good weather
11:10Nature brings pinkling alcohol, we'll drink wine
11:18This winter's hot, it's the holiday season
11:26It's long as day, joining in with the sun
11:35The sun and I, can't hear us no reason
11:44From winter's cold we can hide, as we're safe at morning's night
11:52This winter's hot, it's the holiday season
12:14Mom and Dad, joining in with the sun
12:22The warm inside, can't hear us no reason
12:31Of winter's cold we can hide, as we're safe at morning's night
12:40This winter's hot, it's for everyone
12:58Let's take the shortcut
13:00We can cut across the lake, it's frozen over
13:05You're slippery, isn't it?
13:08Yikes, how do you stall?
13:15Scouts
13:21Come on, Snook, Mr. Rage's cabin is just over the hill
13:32Golly, look
13:40Look what Mr. Ranger did to his tree
13:43It's beautiful
13:48It's beautiful
13:51And he's fixing his cabin up with all kinds of pretty decorations
14:04Dingle bell, dingle bell, dingle all the way
14:10Bless my hat band
14:12I just get all choked up at Christmas
14:16Oh, hi, Nakomi and Chinook
14:20Nakomi and Chinook?
14:22But they're in hibernation
14:24I think
14:27What on earth are you cubs doing here?
14:29We came to hear all about the Christmas fun
14:32Everyone has while us bears are sleeping
14:36Look, look at the tree
14:38And look at the presents
14:41Oh, boy
14:42Shiny balls and sparkly stuff
14:47Wait, you two
14:49Hey, stay out of my decorations, please
14:53Yippee
14:53Yahoo
14:54Hooray for Christmas
14:58Now, kids, try to control yourselves
15:00Hey, Chinook
15:02Look over here
15:03Little white tasty looking mushy things
15:06Bet they taste just grummy
15:11As a matter of fact, they do
15:13That's just one Chinook
15:16Me too, Mr. Ranger
15:17Well, of course
15:22Really, you cubs should be home
15:24Your mother will be worried sick
15:26But we want to hear all about Christmas
15:30Yeah, we never had one of them
15:33Tell us about it, Mr. Ranger
15:36Please
15:37Huh?
15:38Pretty please
15:39With honey on it
15:41Well, now
15:43Wait a minute, kid
15:45I...
15:46Oh
15:48Tell you what
15:49If I let you in on the story of Christmas
15:52Will you promise to go home?
15:54We promise
15:55Cross our hearts
15:56Okay, fine
15:59Well, let's see
16:00It all began a very long time ago
16:05Something very wonderful happened
16:09A little child was born to the family of Mary and Joseph in a place called Bethlehem
16:16Is that in Yellowstone Park?
16:18What?
16:18Oh, no
16:19It's far, far away
16:21Well, anyway
16:22This little child brought a gift to the world of peace on earth and good will toward men
16:29And even to this day, people still give presents on this child's birthday, which we call Christmas
16:37And over the years, many legends built up around Christmas
16:42What kind of legends?
16:44Oh, I guess the most famous one is the story of Santa Claus
16:48What's a Santa Claus?
16:50Can we eat it?
16:52Oh, no, no
16:53Here
16:54Maybe I can explain it to you more easily with a pencil and paper
17:00First of all
17:02This is where we live
17:05It's called the world
17:07You mean it's round?
17:09That's right
17:11And at the very top is a place known as the North Pole
17:16And this is where a little old man with a belly that shakes like a bowl full of jelly lives
17:23all year long
17:24With his eight reindeer and many, many little helpers called elves
17:29What do the elves do up there?
17:32Well, it's said they walk all year long making toys for Santa Claus to deliver to children all over the
17:38world on Christmas Eve
17:46That's the top of the world
17:49In a land quite so long
17:53Live a kind of toy theme
17:56That only children know
18:01Trust toy soldiers
18:03And toy puppy dogs
18:07Tiny toy dogs
18:10Dressed in
18:11Story books
18:13Of
18:14Gold
18:15The dog
18:16Pony
18:17And
18:19Daddy

19:07Wooly toy land, a toy elephant lived by a marching toy band.
19:21There is real and alive as both you and I.
19:29The world of joy people, in true children die.
19:50And so, with Santa on his way, kids everywhere wait happily for Christmas stockings filled with goodies.
20:00Gee, what a beautiful, pretty story.
20:05Well, you cubs better be getting on home.
20:10Oh, thank you, Mr. Ranger. That was a terrific story.
20:15Good. Now, run along home, kids.
20:28Bye, Mr. Ranger.
20:29Bye. See you next spring.
20:36Cute little kids, those two.
20:43Maybe your mom will let us have a Christmas.
20:46She might even let us stay up until Santa Claus comes.
20:50We have some real nice and chivalry.
21:08Hey, look.
21:09See what I see, Colby?
21:11Oh, boy.
21:13A beautiful little Christmas tree.
21:16Wow.
21:17It must be the prettiest one in Yellowstone Park.
21:21Come on.
21:22Let's take it home.
21:28But how?
21:30It won't shake loose.
21:32Maybe we can break it up.
21:43Keep tugging, McCormie.
21:46Thing is gonna snap.
22:08Oh, it's too big a tree.
22:12You mean we're too little.
22:15What's a Christmas without a Christmas tree?
22:19Hey, wait.
22:21Mom could break that tree off in two seconds.
22:25Come on, Snook.
22:44Wake up.
22:45Yoo-hoo, Mom.
22:47Hey, Mom, wake up.
22:49What is it?
22:51Avalanche?
22:52A forest fire?
22:53What?
22:53Can we have a Christmas tree, Mom?
22:56A what?
22:57You know, a Christmas tree like Mr. Ranger has.
23:01Listen, children.
23:03I hate to be angry, but you should have been asleep weeks ago.
23:08But, Mom, just one tinky little Christmas tree.
23:12Please, Mom.
23:14I'm sorry.
23:16It's almost a month past your bedtime already.
23:20Ow!
23:22Oh, all right.
23:25But you must promise to remain in the cave for the rest of the winter.
23:30We promise, Mom.
23:32We do.
23:33We do.
23:34Yippee!
23:35We're gonna have a tree.
23:37Hooray!
23:38We found a beauty just on the slope, Mom.
23:40I'm going, I'm going.
23:43Oh, the problems of motherhood.
23:46I've got a feeling it's going to be a long winter.
23:50Whoopee!
23:51Well, let's get the old cave ready for our Christmas tree.
23:58Oh, I guess this is the tree the kids want.
24:07Isn't it a true grippy Christmas tree, Mom?
24:11I'm glad you're happy with it, kids.
24:14Maybe now we can get some sleep, hmm?
24:17Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way.
24:21Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
24:25Yippee!
24:26Hooray for Christmas!
24:28We want Santa Claus!
24:31Now, now, listen, kids.
24:32I don't want to spoil the fun.
24:34But this noise simply cannot contain me.
24:37Just what is all this Christmas stuff all about, anyway?
24:42Oh, it's terrific, Mom!
24:45Yeah, a fat, jolly old man in a sled is gonna bring us some presents.
24:51Yeah, and this big old jelly thinks like a ball full of jelly.
24:57And he comes down the chimney and says,
25:00Ho, ho, ho.
25:02And how did you kids learn all about this?
25:05Mr. Ranger told us.
25:07Oh, he certainly can tell some whoppers.
25:11Oh, no, it's true, Mom.
25:14And no matter what, we're gonna stay up until Christmas Eve.
25:18Oh, dear.
25:20And just when is this Christmas Eve?
25:24Well, uh, we don't know.
25:28We sort of forgot to ask.
25:31Great.
25:31It could be next July.
25:34We'll go ask Mr. Ranger, okay?
25:36Oh, no, you don't.
25:39You cubs wait here.
25:40I'll have a talk with that, Mr. Ranger.
25:43I'll find out all about this Christmas business once and for all.
25:50Do you think Christmas might be in July?
25:54Why?
25:54I don't even know when July is.
26:04Ah, yes.
26:06Tis indeed the season to be jolly.
26:21Uh-oh.
26:22Good heavens.
26:24There's a bear.
26:27It's old Nana.
26:30Wake up, Nana.
26:36Wake up.
26:39You're, uh, blocking my door, dear.
26:42What are you doing here, anyhow?
26:45Oh, I just can't get any sleep with Nekomi and Chinook,
26:49all excited over this thing called Christmas.
26:52They're determined to stay up until Christmas Eve,
26:56whenever that is.
26:58Oh, I see.
27:01But it seems you're the only one who knows when that is.
27:05Say, who is Santa Claus with a bowl full of jelly and reindeer and all?
27:12Well, it's all sort of an old legend.
27:17You mean it's not true?
27:20Have you been fibbing to my kids?
27:23Why, no, not exactly.
27:26I thought you bears would be hibernating.
27:30Now, how can I hibernate with two cubs all excited over a Santa Claus who isn't even real?
27:37Well, I don't mind losing a little sleep, but the kids will be so disappointed.
27:44Well, maybe they won't have to be.
27:47You know, I used to be an old department store Santa, and I still have my old outfit packed away.
27:55Why don't I just show up at your place on Christmas Eve, give a couple of ho-ho-hos, drop
28:02off a few goodies, and...
28:03And the cubs will have seen Santa, and we can all bed down for the winter.
28:09Oh, I just hope it works, for those cubs will be awfully sad and unhappy.
28:16See you tomorrow night, Mr. Ranger.
28:20Bye, Nana.
28:21I'll be there.
28:22You know, this might be fun.
28:25Ought to be a real nice, old-fashioned Christmas.
28:43Oh, what a wonder of Christmas time, the happiest time of the year.
28:53When children are waking, it's empty, baby, the Santa will ever appear.
29:07They're expecting a wonderful Christmas time, and it's never so easy to see.
29:18Oh, that the first line of crisp-wrinkle, all hearts will be jingling through his jolly poor eyes.
29:32And the wonder of Christmas time, and the wonder of Christmas time.
29:52The holiday season, the holiday season we know.
29:58And here's his wonder, presenting your wonder.
30:05Of the kids that make way in the show.
30:10There'll be times when you think of Christmas time, many years, many years from today.
30:22And I hope you'll remember, this day in December, as one that is so good and mine.
30:36And I hope you'll remember, and I hope you'll remember, and I hope you'll remember.
30:46Oh, my God.
31:16Oh, Christmas Eve at last.
31:20Time for old Santa to make his rounds.
31:24Say, I don't look half bad.
31:27I don't suppose the real Saint Nick would mind me standing in to bring a little Christmas cheer to Yellowstone
31:33National Park.
31:42Hoo, hoo, hoo.
31:44Oh, I guess I've got everything, including a couple of stockings full of goodies for Chinook to Nikomi.
31:51Those cubs are in for a real treat.
31:55Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo.
32:22Oh, why did tonight have to be the night for our worship?
32:26The first blizzard in years.
32:42Mom, what do you suppose Santa will bring you?
32:45Oh, I sort of expect a good winter's rest.
32:51I sure wish Santa would hurry up.
32:55Yeah, I'm tired.
32:58Oh, I'm sure he'll be here soon, kids.
33:02Yeah, we don't want to fall asleep.
33:06Hey, Chinook, wake up, wake up.
33:10Do you want a missing Santa?
33:12Mm-mm.
33:13Remember, Santa is coming.
33:16I hope.
33:29It's no use.
33:30I've got to stop before I get snowed in.
33:35I've got to wait till this snowstorm passes.
33:50Gee, it's getting awful late.
33:54Has it stopped snowing, Ma?
33:57Not yet.
34:00Gosh, maybe Santa can't get through.
34:04Chinook, wake up.
34:09Oh, good.
34:12There's an old bus stop for summer visitors.
34:15At least it's got a roof.
34:17Oh, I'll wait out the storm in here.
34:25Phew.
34:25Where is Santa Claus?
34:28I can't stay awake much longer.
34:33I'm afraid I'll just have to tell them the sad truth, even if it hurts.
34:40Come here, children.
34:43Do you think Santa's coming, Mom?
34:46Shouldn't he have been here?
34:49Well, dear, I'm afraid not.
34:52Perhaps it's best you know the truth.
34:55Santa is only Mr. Ranger dressed up in a red suit and wearing a false beard.
35:02You mean there's no real Santa Claus?
35:05No, no, not exactly.
35:09It's, well, it's sort of just a nice old story that the ranger told.
35:14But rather than disappoint you, he decided to dress up like this Santa Claus and visit you tonight.
35:22But I guess he can't get through because of the bad storm outside.
35:26I guess Christmas is for people, not fair.
35:31I'm sorry, kids.
35:35Gee, no Santa?
35:38Besides, well, we're all together in our warm cave.
35:43That's sort of nice, isn't it?
35:44So let's all go to bed and we'll talk all about this in the spring.
35:51Good night, kids.
35:59Good night, little one, and oh, it's fair.
36:09Leave away the trouble that you have had.
36:16I've shocked, little one, it's time for dreams.
36:25Through the starlit heaven and still the moon leaves.
36:33Sleep, oh, sleep, little one.
36:39Rest you will remind
36:44How better day is dawning
36:50Tomorrow, tomorrow, you will find
36:58Tomorrow, little one, and oh, it's fair.
37:08Sleep away the trouble that you all have had.
37:16I've shocked, little one, it's time for dreams.
37:25Through the starlit heaven and still the moon leaves.
37:33The starlit heaven and still the moon's red roots in the sea.
37:46Your dreams, but the stars and the moon are there waiting for you.
37:57The stars andと同情, are there waiting for you.
38:03Good night, little one.
38:18Night, Mom.
38:20Night.
38:23Oh, I just wish there was a Santa Claus.
38:39Ho, ho, ho, ho.
38:44Ho, ho, ho.
38:49Ho, ho, ho.
38:50Ho, ho, ho.
38:52Great.
38:53Now he shows up.
39:03Oh, it's only Mr. Ranger, dressed up like Santa Claus, and he's just trying to fool us.
39:13Ho, ho, ho, ho.
39:15Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
39:21He just wanted you to have a nice Christmas, kid.
39:25This is the worst Christmas I ever had.
39:29Even if it is the only one.
39:32Well, it's all over now, kids.
39:34Let's try to forget and get some sleep.
39:39Okay, Mom.
39:41Good night.
39:42Good night, Mom.
39:57Good night.
40:05Oh, dear.
40:06It's almost morning.
40:08Whew.
40:09As last the storm lit.
40:11I'd better get up to those bears.
40:13I'm way overdue.
40:34Oh, I just hope they're still waiting.
40:41Anyone home?
40:43Santa Claus is here.
40:45Ho, ho, ho!
40:47Merry Christmas!
40:49Merry Christmas, everyone!
40:51Ho, ho, ho!
40:57Hey, wake up!
40:59It's me, Santa Claus, remember?
41:02Santa, but you were already here.
41:06I was.
41:07I mean, I wasn't.
41:09I just got here, and I brought these stockings full of...
41:12Huh?
41:14Where did those other stockings come from?
41:17Didn't you bring them, Mr. Ranger?
41:21Well, no.
41:23I mean, I'm not a ranger.
41:24Oh, you know.
41:28But how?
41:30Because a real Santa Claus was already here.
41:34Yippee!
41:35Hooray!
41:36There is a real Santa Claus.
41:40Well, I...
41:41I suppose...
41:43There must be.
41:46Oh, boy!
41:48And he brought us our Christmas stockings!
41:52Ho, ho, ho!
41:54Up, daughter!
41:56Up, Lipson!
41:59What's that?
42:00Could it be...
42:02It's him!
42:03Santa Claus!
42:06Look!
42:07Up in the sky!
42:08Why, it is!
42:09It is!
42:10It's good old Saint Nick!
42:12And all his reindeer!
42:17Bye, Santa, bye. Merry Christmas. Isn't Christmas wonderful?
42:24Good night, Mr. Ranger, and thanks.
42:28Yeah, thank you. Good night.
42:39Good night, kids. Good night, Nana.
42:43See you in the spring.
42:51Say, do you believe in Santa Claus?
42:57I sure do.
43:22Oh, what a wonder of Christmas time, the happiest time of the year.
43:33When children are weeping, intently debating, if Santa will ever appear, they're expecting
43:47a wonderful Christmas time, and it's ever so easy to see.
43:57Not so fast, honey, a first wrinkle, all hearts will be jingling, to hear a jolly home ride,
44:09and the wonder of Christmas time.
44:22Oh, what a wonder of Christmas time, the honery season we know.
44:33And isn't it fun, you're just pretending you're one of the people that we play in the snow.
44:45There'll be times when you're jingling with Christmas time, the year and the years of today.
44:57And I hope you remember, today is December, the wonder is so pure and high.
45:11After me is the wonder, the wonder of Christmas time.
45:19Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
45:28Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
45:30oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
